Updates on Border Measures for Travellers from India to Singapore

With effect from 21 February 2022, 2359 hours (Singapore time), border measures for travellers entering Singapore from India will be simplified as follows:

1. Travel history requirement will be reduced from 14 days to 7 days;

2. Stay-Home Notice (SHN) duration will be standardised to 7 days across for travellers on non-VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) flights;

3. Enhanced testing regime for travellers arriving on VTLs will be ceased (i.e. lifting of requirement to self-administer Antigen Rapid Test [ART] and test negative before leaving accommodation from the 2nd to 7th day of arrival in Singapore);

4. VTL travellers will no longer need to perform an on-arrival PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test. Instead, they will have up to 24 hours from their entry into Singapore to take a supervised self-swab (SSS) ART at one of the testing centres located across Singapore

Nonetheless, all VTL and non-VTL travellers from India will still need to undergo COVID-19 pre-departure test and present a negative PCR test result or a professionally administered (i.e., performed by trained medical professionals) negative ART result taken within 48 hours before their departure to Singapore. For fully vaccinated-recovered travellers, you are not required to undergo COVID-19 pre-departure test but are required to possess one of the following medical proof/documents, which must be in English or translated into English, showing positive COVID-19 infection detected 7 days to 90 days before date of departure for Singapore: EITHER

   2. ID number (per travel document used to enter Singapore), or Date of Birth; AND

   3. Date of infection which must fall within 7 days to 90 days (inclusive) before the date of departure for Singapore The above is a pre-requisite before passengers are allowed to board their flights to Singapore. Upon arrival in Singapore, passengers will also be required to present their valid COVID-19 negative PCR/ART test result or (only for vaccinated-recovered travellers) medical proof/documents of COVID-19 infection detected 7 days to 90 days before date of departure for Singapore.
